Hey @Marylou ,

I'm certainly hearing you. I hear what you are saying. 

I experienced this for myself in the past where I was under area mental health for many years. I had a psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, peer worker. When I was discharged, my GP was to over see my supports.

However, I have to say, this worked. Why? Because I worked on a transition plan with area mental health and there was handover to the GP. I also asked the service for a list of GPs who they recommended who were ready to take on and oversee my needs. They gave me a list of the GPs they liaise with.

For me, my medication was handled by my area mental health. The service liaised with the pharmacy, and I never had to see or deal with a script. Medication was delivered to my house fortnightly. I thought this would stop after I finished up with area mental health, but the GP followed through and continues to manage my medication in the same way.

From all this, I wonder if you can ask the service if there are GPs they recommend who can follow through with the care?
